Automatic Citroen C5 x7 Hydractive 2.0HDI 163hp RHH throttle pedal

Unread post by ThomasH »

Hello, greetings from Romania, I have a problem with my c5, when I turn the car on, the “check engine” light comes on . When I try to accelerate it won’t let me go past 3000 rpm. I have the following fault codes: P2132 and P2134.
And I have two more codes but I don’t think are related to this situation: U1218 and U1213. Please help me find a solution🙏🏼

Here is the fault code data. Looks like the accelerator pedal may be the issue.

Fault Code: P2132
Description of Fault: Hard point switch on the accelerator pedal: Short circuit to earth. Voltage greater than 4,96 V.
The fault immediately appears.
Conditions for Fault to clear:
  • Driving with engine hot for 5 minutes, with the vehicle speed limiter activated.
Downgrade Modes whilst Fault is active:
  • Irreversible deactivation of the vehicle speed limiter (Need to switch the ignition off and then on, in order to make the function available again)
  • Deactivation of the tight spot for the cruise control
Symptoms:
  • No effects immediately perceptible to the customer
Suspect Areas:
  • Hard point switch on the accelerator pedal
  • Connector
  • Electrical harness
